First time in Hungary
Reviewed By Citylights - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe
My husband and I always wanted to visit Budapest, and when we decided to finally make it happen, a friend recommended Szilvia. She knows the city inside out, and she regularly visits Hungary. From our very first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. She arranged our flights, a hotel in downtown Budapest along the banks of the Danube, and provided us with knowledge that elevated our experience. She recommended trying out the public transportation, which is excellent in Budapest, even late at night! We visited the Gellert Thermal Baths, which is not as known as the Szechenyi Baths, but the experience was amazing, as you can see the Danube from the top of the building sitting in one of the thermal pools, incredible! We also walked across the Chain Bridge at sunset, with the Hungarian Parliament Building glowing golden on the riverbank, it was one of the most romantic sights either of us had ever seen. We explored the historic Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, where the panoramic views over the city and the Danube simply took our breath away. Szilvia also recommended we visit the famous Ruin Bars of the Jewish Quarter, which turned out to be one of the most unique nightlife experiences of our lives. We visited the beautiful St. Stephen's Basilica, ate traditional Hungarian cuisine including goulash, chimney cakes, and langos at local restaurants Szilvia personally recommended, and ended each evening with a glass of Tokaji wine watching the city lights reflect off the Danube. Every moment of our Budapest trip felt magical, and that is entirely thanks to Szilvia's expertise, passion, and personal touch.

Our Maui Vacation
Reviewed By JoeY2014 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
I wanted our first Hawaiian vacation to be perfect, so I decided to get a help of a travel agent and contacted Szilvia to assist with the planning. She arranged a nonstop flight from San Diego to Kahului, a rental car, and our accommodations at the Royal Lahaina Resort for a five night stay. Our main goal was to relax and unwind, but thanks to Szilvia's insider knowledge, we also discovered some truly incredible hidden gems along the way. She pointed us to an amazing secluded snorkeling spot at Honolua Bay, giving us detailed directions through a scenic trail to get there. We also visited the breathtaking Nakalele Blowhole, where powerful ocean waves crash into the lava rocks and shoot up into the air in a natural geyser display. We rounded out our adventure with the iconic Road to Hana, and made memorable stops at the stunning Black Sand Beach and the beautiful Wailua Falls. Thanks to Szilvia's careful planning and personal recommendations, our first Hawaiian vacation turned out to be absolutely perfect.

Perfect vacation
Reviewed By TravelMind - Budapest, Hungary | Traveled to San Diego | California | USA
As a Hungarian family based in Budapest, we had always dreamed of bringing our children to Disneyland in the United States. Planning a three week trip from Hungary to the USA is not easy, which is why we entrusted Szilvia to handle every detail of our vacation. From the moment we arrived in Los Angeles to our time exploring San Diego, everything was seamlessly organized and exceeded our expectations. Szilvia arranged everything, international flights, hotel accommodations, rental car, and theme park tickets, taking all of the stress out of what could have been an overwhelming experience. We stayed at a beautiful property in Vista, complete with a pool, gym, tennis court, and barbecue area, all just ten minutes from the beach and steps away from a hiking trail. She also arranged two nights in Anaheim within walking distance of Disneyland, which was an absolute highlight for the entire family. Throughout our trip we visited Disneyland, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, the Safari Park in Escondido, and the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego. Szilvia even secured tickets to the Del Mar Fair, an annual event we had no idea was happening during our stay, which turned out to be a very memorable experience.
Our vacation was perfect, and it would not have been possible without Szilvia's expertise, dedication, and care for her clients. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for our next adventure.

CA Road trip
Reviewed By Fam5 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Monterey | California | USA
We had been talking about a California road trip for years, so I contacted Szilvia to help plan it, because I don’t like to worry about the planning part. She arranged a rental car, found us a hotel in Monterey, and mapped out the perfect itinerary for our family drive up the California coast from San Diego. Everything was organized and ready to go, all we had to do was hit the road. The drive itself was half the adventure. Szilvia told us to take the Pacific Coast Highway, and it was such a beautiful drive, coastal cliffs, crashing waves, seaside towns, and views that had us pulling over every few miles. We stopped in Santa Barbara for lunch, explored the beautiful mission and the vibrant State Street, and arrived in Monterey feeling like the trip had already been worth every mile. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was the kids’ favorite. I believe it’s one of the biggest aquariums in the world and must visit for any family traveling to the area. We hiked the trails of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, did the 17 Mile Drive through Pebble Beach, with amazing ocean views, and saw the famous Lone Cypress. This was one of our favorite family trips, thank you Szilvia.

Our bucket list trip
Reviewed By Gobergen - Carlsbad, CA | Traveled to Bergen | Norway | Europe
My husband and I was thinking about going to Norway this summer. Had been on our bucket list for years. Szilvia planned it for us, our flights, a hotel in Bergen's Bryggen wharf district, and gave us great tips that made the whole trip unforgettable. Bergen is something special. We rode the famous Floibanen funicular up to Mount Floyen where the panoramic views of the city and surrounding fjords were so beautiful, I can’t even describe it. The highlight of the trip was a fjord cruise through the UNESCO listed Naeroyfjord, beautiful scenery!! We also tackled the Trolltunga hike, one of the most dramatic and rewarding experiences we ever had, challenging but absolutely worth every step. Back in Bergen we explored the colorful historic Bryggen wharf, the famous Fish Market, and ate fresh seafood and Norwegian fish soup at the waterfront restaurants. Norway has stolen our heart and will absolutely be going back, for sure calling Szilvia to help plan it again.

Cabo girls trip
Reviewed By GirlsTrip26 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Our group of girlfriends wanted to go to Cabo San Lucas, so we called Szilvia and she put together a five day girls trip for us. She booked our flights from San Diego, and a great resort right on the beach, and took care of every detail. Cabo was absolutely everything we needed, sunshine, crystal blue water, incredible food, and amazing atmosphere for a girls trip. We spent our days lounging by the pool and on the beach, took a boat tour to the famous El Arco rock arch, went snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez, and enjoyed Mexican food and margaritas at a restaurant Szilvia had recommended. The sunsets in Cabo are beautiful, every evening we watched the sky turn shades of gold and pink over the Pacific. The nights were awesome, with vibrant bars and restaurants along the marina keeping our group entertained and dancing until late. Five days felt way too short and we are already planning our return trip. Thank you Szilvia for putting together such a great girls getaway!

Oktoberfest in Berlin

We always dreamed of experiencing a real German Oktoberfest so I reached out to Szilvia to help with the trip. She arranged our flights, found us a great hotel in Berlin, and gave us plenty of tips that made our experience so much better than anything I could have planned on my own. The Oktoberfest celebrations were awesome, cold perfectly poured German beer, delicious pretzels and bratwursts, live music, and an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration. Beyond the festival, Szilvia encouraged us to explore Berlin itself and I am so glad she did. We visited the Brandenburg Gate, walked along the Berlin Wall and the East Side Gallery, and soaked in the incredible energy of one of Europe's most fascinating and vibrant cities. It was an unforgettable trip and Szilvia made every detail completely effortless. Thank you!

Bachelorette trip
Reviewed By Girlstrip5 - Budapest, Hungary | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Oh my god, where do I even start! We came from Europe for my best friend's bachelorette trip to Las Vegas and we had absolutely no idea how to plan something like this in America. My friend told me to contact Szilvia. She arranged all our flights, got us a hotel right on the Strip, and took care of everything so we could just focus on having fun. And wow, what a time it was! Las Vegas is absolutely crazy in a good way, we could not believe our eyes when we arrived. Szilvia recommended us the best rooftop pools, beautiful restaurants for our group dinner, and got us into exclusive nightclubs on the Strip. We danced all night, we gambled a little, we laughed so much, and our bride was just so happy the whole trip. Everything was organized and we never had to worry about anything. For us coming from Europe it was so helpful to have someone who knows Las Vegas and understands exactly what you need. Szilvia thought of every little detail and made everything so easy for us. Our bride had the most amazing last trip as a single woman and we will never forget this experience. Thank you so much Szilvia, you are the best and we will for sure contact you again for our next trip to America!

Short trip to Austin
Reviewed By Gotx24 - Carlsbad, CA | Traveled to Austin | Texas | USA
We visited Austin for the first time last October and reached out to Szilvia to help plan the trip. We had two things on our agenda, the annual Halloween street festival and checking out the new Mesa Rim climbing gym, and she took care of everything, from flights to a great hotel right in the middle of the action. The Halloween street festival was a blast. The energy on Sixth Street was amazing, incredible costumes, live music pouring out of every venue, and a crowd that knew how to have a seriously good time. It was one of those nights that reminds you why Austin has such a legendary reputation for fun and culture. The next day we headed over to the new Mesa Rim climbing gym and it did not disappoint. The facility was stunning, beautifully designed with an impressive variety of bouldering walls and rope routes for every skill level. The atmosphere was welcoming and the community was fantastic. As a climber it was honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. Szilvia put this whole trip together seamlessly and her recommendations were spot on. Short trip, two perfect experiences, exactly what we were looking for. I will definitely be calling her again for my next adventure.

Climbing in Vietnam
Reviewed By MarkH38 - San Marcos, CA | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
As an avid rock climber, I always wanted to go climbing in Vietnam. I finally decided to make the trip happen, so I reached out to Szilvia to help put it together. I wasn't sure how familiar she would be with a climbing focused trip to Southeast Asia, but I found out she used to climb too, and she absolutely blew me away with her thoroughness, and resourcefulness for making my adventure perfect. She arranged my international flights, a hotel in Hanoi to kick off the trip, and coordinated all the logistics to get me to Cat Ba Island and the legendary climbing areas of Ha Long Bay, one of the most iconic climbing destinations. The climbing itself was absolutely world class. Szilvia connected me with a highly regarded local climbing guide who knew every route on the island inside and out, from beginner friendly routes on the lower crags to challenging multipitch climbs. Deep water soloing, climbing the cliffs and jumping directly into the crystal clear water below, was an adrenaline rush unlike anything I have ever experienced. Beyond the climbing, Szilvia made sure I had time to explore Vietnam. I explored the streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter, ate street food including fresh pho, banh mi, and crispy spring rolls, and spent an evening on a sunset cruise through Ha Long Bay. This trip was the adventure of a lifetime and I’m already planning my next climbing destination and Szilvia will be the first person I call.

Honeymoon
Reviewed By NancyM - Oceanside, CA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
When my husband and I started planning our honeymoon, we wanted something special. I always wanted to go to Paris, and when we reached out to Szilvia, she made that trip possible. She arranged everything, our flights, hotel just minutes from the Eiffel Tower, and personal recommendations that made our trip incredible. Szilvia had recommended a beautiful candlelit restaurant in the Le Marais district where we enjoyed the most exquisite French cuisine we have ever tasted. We strolled along the Seine, explored the famous Louvre, and spent the afternoon wandering through the streets of Montmartre, ending up at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica with panoramic views over the entire city. We also took a romantic sunset Seine river cruise that Szilvia had arranged as a surprise addition to our itinerary, which was one of the most magical experiences of our entire honeymoon. Every detail reflected Szilvia's genuine care and dedication to making our trip absolutely perfect. If you are looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond for her clients, look no further.

Tahoe Mountain Bike trip
Reviewed By JoeyG - Oceanside, CA | Traveled to Lake Tahoe | Nevada | USA
So I've been wanting to shred some trails in Lake Tahoe for years, and this year I finally pulled the trigger. A buddy told me to hit up Szilvia to help plan it out, and honestly best decision I ever made. She sorted out my flights into Reno, hooked me up with a sick lodge in South Lake Tahoe, and even lined up a bike rental with a solid local shop. All I had to do was show up and ride. And man, the riding did not disappoint. The Flume Trail was everything I dreamed, sick singletrack with insane views of the lake that honestly made me stop and just stare a few times. I also hit up Northstar Bike Park which was an absolute blast, great flow trails, gnarly descents, and the lift access meant more laps and less hiking. After riding all day, it was great to come back to a super comfortable spot close to good food and the lake. Evening walks by the water with a cold beer after a long day on the trails, doesn't get much better than that. Szilvia totally nailed it. She knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered without any hassle. Already thinking about next summer and she's definitely getting that call again.

When we received an unexpected invitation to a family wedding in Sydney, Australia, we had no idea how we were going to pull together an international trip on such short notice. Flights, hotels, and logistics for a last minute trip halfway around the world felt overwhelming until we called Szilvia. Within an incredibly short amount of time, she had everything arranged, from our international flights to a beautiful hotel in the heart of Sydney, all perfectly timed around the wedding celebrations.

Despite the pressure on time, she made sure every detail was taken care of so we could focus on celebrating with our family. While we were there, we took the opportunity to explore a little bit of this beautiful city. We visited the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and enjoyed fresh seafood with stunning harbor views. The wedding itself was held in a beautiful venue overlooking the city, and having the peace of mind that all of our travel arrangements were perfectly in place allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every special moment. We cannot thank Szilvia enough for making this trip so quickly possible. If you ever need a travel agent who can deliver under pressure without sacrificing quality, look no further.

Hawaii vacation
Reviewed By Islandlove26 - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Oahu Island | Hawaii | USA
Planning a family vacation to Hawaii with two young kids felt overwhelming at first, but we contacted Szilvia, and every worry melted away. She arranged everything perfectly, our flights, a centrally located hotel in Waikiki just steps from the beach, and a rental car so we could explore the island at our own pace. During our week in Oahu, we experienced so much more than we could have planned on our own. We spent our first days relaxing on the beach and learning to surf on the shores of Waikiki Beach, which the kids absolutely loved. Szilvia recommended we visit the North Shore, where we watched surfers riding massive waves at Sunset Beach. We snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, where the kids were excited to swim alongside colorful fishes and the sea turtles in one of the most beautiful natural bays we have ever seen. We also hiked up the Diamond Head crater, and the amazing views of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean from the summit made the hike absolutely worth it. The historic Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial provided a great educational experience for the whole family, while the Polynesian Cultural Center treated us to an unforgettable evening of authentic island culture, music, and food that the kids had been talking about for days. Szilvia even had tips on the best shave ice spots, poke bowls, and not to mention Giovanni’s food truck on the North Shore. Every detail was taken care of, every question was answered, and every recommendation was spot on. Thank you Szilvia for giving our family memories we will cherish forever.
